Meridian Market is described in official materials as the city's central commercial district. It is also the reported starting area: the place where the opening beats happen, from the inherited noodle bar to your first customers.
What is confirmed about the district
- It is one of the city's four districts, per the official Q&A and Steam news.

- Official copy describes the game as starting humble here and growing upward through restaurants and nightclubs.
What is not confirmed yet
The exact streets, other businesses, and whether the district is fully explorable remain unconfirmed. ION LANDS has said some city areas are background scenery rather than open spaces, so treat the district map as approximate until launch.
